UNetBootIn

Create Bootable USB Flash Drives

This is actually a pretty simple (and free) process. I re-posted the directions from BackTrack (a linux distribution of Penetration Testing Tools). FYI, I chose this method over using the standard Mac OSX Disk Utility primarily because Disk Utility does not accept ISO images. Also, UNetBootin support multiple platforms, making it a good universal tool.

This method of getting a live install to a USB drive is the simplest available using Unetbootin.
(Note that we will format the USB drive and erase its contents).
